Wat Pak Nam Fang Nuea

Wat Pak Nam Fang Nuea is an old Thai Buddhist temple in Bangkok. It is a twin monastery of Wat Pak Nam Fang Tai, standing on the opposite bank of Khlong Bang Chueak Nang.
The temple history is unclear, assumed to be built around 1827 and received wis̄ungkhāms̄īmā in 1835.
According to legend, the founders of the two temples were brothers. After a disagreement, they decided to part ways and each built a temple on opposite banks of the canal, Wat Pak Nam Fang Nuea and Wat Pak Nam Fang Tai.
Wat Pak Nam Fang Nuea is smaller than Wat Pak Nam Fang Tai. The ordination hall is small in Mon style, facing east, with a single door without windows, known locally as mhaaud. The principal Buddha image in the posture of meditation is called Luang Phor Petch.
Originally, it was inaccessible by car. In 2004, Wat Pak Nam Wittayakom School, located on the temple grounds, opened up a space in the back of the school, thus allowing cars to access the temple.
The temple is listed by the Fine Arts Department as a registered ancient monument in 2023.
